Tonight I tried all the bells and whistles on my new birthday food processor. And am I impressed!
We had a red cabbage and some carrots from the CSA last week, so I decided to make coleslaw. The food processor shredded the cabbage and carrots together in seconds, while I would probably still be shredding by hand.
I used a Barefoot Contessa recipe, and it turned out very yummy. Here's the recipe, as I used it (I omitted the regular cabbage, in favor of all red cabbage, and I left out the celery seeds because I don't really like celery that much):
Ingredients
red cabbage (3/4 small head)
5 carrots
2 cups good mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon celery salt
Directions
Fit a food processor with the shredding blade. Process small chunks of cabbage and halved carrots together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar, and celery salt. Pour enough of the dressing over the grated vegetables to moisten them. Serve cold or at room temperature.
